ADVICE

Balancing Extra Work with CrossFit Programming

  • CrossFit athletes should prioritize the prescribed programming and recovery.
  • Extra skill work is beneficial but must not compromise the main program or recovery.
ADVICE

Split Sleep vs. Uninterrupted Sleep

  • Splitting sleep into two sessions is better than only getting five hours.
  • However, it's not as restorative as eight uninterrupted hours.
ADVICE

Exercise Recommendations for Casual Athletes

  • Casual athletes should avoid high-risk exercises like one-rep max Olympic lifts and advanced gymnastics movements.
  • Focus on exercises with lower injury risk for long-term fitness.
